LANTERN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 230,839, dated August 3, 1880,

Application filed January .28, 1880.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EUGENE R. TUTT, of Ukiah, in the county of Mendocino and State of California, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Lanterns; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the saine,reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part ot'this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure l of the drawings is a representation of a side elevation of my improved lantern, and Fig. 2 is a bottom view of its frame.

This invention has relation to improvements in lanterns.

The object of the invention is mainly to devise a simple and inexpensive form of lantern that will be safe and easily cleaned and well adapted to the various uses to which such devices are applied.

The nature of the invention will be fully set forth hereinafter.

In the accompanying drawings, the letter A designates the frame of my improved lantern, composed of a base-ring, a, and the preferably flat bars I) 1), extending up therefrom and secured thereto. The bars I) extend transversely across ring a, and are attached to each other at the center thereof. They are also permanently attached to a metallic annulus, B, that carries a perforated or reticulated metallic hood, 0. The bar I)", however, is pivoted on a stud, m, at the point of intersection of bars b at its lower end, while its upper end, 0, extends up inside of ring B, but is not attached thereto; consequently it may be swung aside and the globe Dintroducedinto the frame or removed, therefrom, as maybe required, through the opening thus made. The globe is a plain glass tumbler, that may be had for a few cents in any crockery-shop.

Gr indicates the lamp, seated snugly in the bottom of the tumbler, and readily removable therefrom. In between the upper edge of the glass and the ring B, that carries the hood, is a space, (I, forthe admission of air to support combustion. The air entering this space passes down the sides of the globe to the lamp, while the heated air passes up the center of the said globe into the hood, whence it escapes into the open air.

Thelan tern is supported by means of a chain, J, having at its end a finger-ring, 0; but, it desired, the usual \vire bail may be used.

WVhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The lantern consisting of the skeletonframe A, having a horizontally-swinging bar, I), the annulus B, the perforated hood 0, a common glass tumbler, D, serving as a globe, and the lamp G at the bottom of said tumbler, substantially as specified.

2. The combination of aframe, A, composed of the ring a, the frame-bars b, extending across said ring and united at its center, and the swinging bar I), with the annulus B, attached to bars I), the reticulated hood (J, and the tumbier-globe D, having the lamp Gr, substantially as specified.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.

EUGENE ROY TUTT.
